There is a sentence in "The Lonely Gourmet": The moment he is not bound by time and society and happily fills his stomach, he regains his freedom as he pleases. Not bothering others, having no scruples, and feasting. This kind of aloof behavior is the best cure given to modern people by equality!
Therefore, when you are in a low mood, many people will recommend you to eat some delicious food to heal, or simply eat some chocolate, cakes, desserts, etc. Of course, watching food programs such as "The Lonely Gourmet", "Late Night Diner", "Little Forest", etc. is also very healing.
Once, I was chatting with a friend in Beijing. His attitude towards food surprised me. He said that as long as the food is full and nutritious, people are now over-nourished. There is nothing wrong with overnutrition, but wouldn’t it be boring if food was just there to fill us up? The gourmet Mr. Cai Lan once said that a good life starts with eating well. Eating well means loving yourself well. This has always affected me, making me think that I cannot accept those who do not eat well and lead an unsophisticated life. You can save on other things, but how can you save on food? If conditions permit, I certainly don't want to skimp on food. It's fun and interesting to be with people who are good at cooking, and people who can cook are fascinating. If a person can cook, his impression will be enhanced.
If you are dating someone and you are a delicious person, you will definitely give the other person a good impression. Mr. Cai once said that most people who love to eat and enjoy food have a good personality. They are cheerful and will not cause you any trouble. Whether it is money or feelings, they are indeed worth dating. You think, if a person eats with you and refuses to eat here and there, and is picky about this and that, it must be very tiring to get along with him.
Guangzhou people are very fond of food. Once, a friend in Guangzhou took me to eat Chaoshan hot pot, which he often eats. While eating, he told me which beef was better and how to check the freshness. There is also the carving knife method, and then I brush it and give it to me to eat, and tell me what sauce to use to enhance the taste and texture. I thought at that time that when I opened the New World, maybe the way I usually eat and the taste of the food I usually eat are different from the original local taste because of the city. The food I am accustomed to eat in different places and in different ways. It tastes different when eaten by different people.
In fact, no two dishes in the world taste exactly the same, even if they are from the same restaurant and the same chef, so eating delicious food is pure luck. But for this good fortune, I am going to try more delicious food.
In life, how can you be perfunctory if you eat one meal or one meal less?
Food and love are the most instinctive releases for human beings. Whether you know how to live well and whether you have taste can all be seen from your attitude and requirements towards eating.
